Stairway to Heavens

AO: handsomizer
Q: Natural Ice – CBO
PAX: Shingles (F3 Wichita), Freakonomics, Old Maid, Grape, Spinal Tap, Purple Tiger, Natural Ice – CBO
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Conditions: Frosty and brisk. Perfect weather to embrace the gloom and crush the stairs.

Warm-Up
We started off with a basic warm-up to shake off the morning chill and get the blood flowing: SSH, Stretches, Merkins, all the stuff

The Thang: Stairway to Heavens

Here’s a polished version of your text with minor adjustments for clarity and flow:

We completed a series of Stairway to Heavens on the 92-step staircase. The Pax performed an exercise movement up to the first platform, ran back down to the base, completed a burpee, and then ran up to the second landing to repeat the exercise. This process continued for all five landings, finishing with a final burpee at the top of the stairs. The movements included bear crawl push-ups (Bearway to Heaven), bunny hops, backward crab dips, squats, and lunges.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead!

Christmas Light Alert

AO: westeros
Q: Natural Ice – CBO
PAX: Wolfpack, Spinal Tap, Grape, DintyMoore, Pep, CubCadet, Vector, Young and Restless, Red Skull, Shingles (F3 Wichita), Tim the Toolman, Natural Ice – CBO, Steampunk, Tops
FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
CONDITIONS: Wonderful

WARMUP: The usual warmups with a few extra stretches

THE THANG: PAX embarked on the 3rd Annual Christmas Light Alert, exploring the festive streets of Westeros under YHC’s lead. This 2.6-mile mosey combined holiday spirit with heart-pumping fitness, as we stopped to honor neighborhood decorations with exercises:
– White Christmas Lights = 5 Iron Mikes (each leg counts as 1/2)
– Multicolored Lights = 5 Merkins
– Inflatable Deer or Standing Statues = 5 Burpees
The neighborhood showed up in force with decorations, and so did we. PAX powered through countless lights, racking up reps and burning 590 calories in the process.
Bonus Challenge: A festive bear crawl across the neighborhood bridge, adding some extra grit to the evening.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lean Pax is almost here!

COT: Prayers for Courage in the New Year
